A non-contact force is a force which acts on an object without coming physically in contact with it. The most familiar non-contact force is gravity, which confers weight. In contrast a contact force is a force which acts on an object coming physically in contact with it.
Examples of Non-Contact Force: 1.An apple falling down from a tree is one of the best examples of non-contact force.
2.Iron pins attracted in the presence of a magnet bar without any physical contact.
3.Falling raindrops on earth is also an example of a non-contact force.
